Mr, Justice; in stating the case to the jury, remarked that it was not until the end of the lute reign ,that aim act was passed for rendering the crime of child stealing penal. .By that act the child must be Multi' ten years of Age-,-- the offence must be laid either foe robbery of the infant's clothes,' or:- the fraudulent decoy of its person, to, the in jury of its parents; and there were many details required to be proved before: the Crime of stealing one of the hu man species could be mark It appeared'from the evideace that the nurse, Susannah Hayle, upon missing the Child, had gone in pursuit on the road which she supposefl the woman had taken; and Ro satuuth Mentjoy,. and Richard White, proved that they met the prisoner on the road across the forest of Dean, with this child, tate on the day it was: missed. She ap ;peered to hs,ve b'eated it well, it was moving voluntarily `With her ) . •and'she had provided a bottle of water for its drink ri,s, they travelled along. Wh en as k e d b y t h ese peoyle, who knew her, where She had found the child, Rht , told two or three stories of its having been given to tier to nurse by different peopk 'in the neighbourhood of de forest coal mines, and at times insisting it was her . tiw». The: prisoner %vita well known to these witnesses; she was a half-witted .wanderer, who had been turned out by her parents whom yOottg, and obtained a livelihood God knew how, up and down the country, by any sort of conimon labour. She appeared quite fond of the and its cliithes were common, and unlikely to have indtmeed any idea of profiting by their sale. Mr. Baron, Gairow, tinder these circumstances, asked the Jury whether they thought this to be. a case within the eonterriplatiOn of the law, which, he agreed with the Learncu Counsel, had been very 'tardily enacted in this eonntry.. A, real conviction under this law, he: would at c.:nce visit with the severest ..punishment, but he could not think this would baskerned a case of that nature. - The Jury were entirely. of opinion with the Court, and the woman was aegstitid.' Mr. Baron Garro,,v.--" 1 tell you what, my good woman, you must., desist front this fondness for children, w hi c h tempts you expoSe their parents to distraction by en. tieing thOli.ilivay frOm their hoeses, or' else. you will. timid the law place:you:Where perhaps you will not like to spend the' - rest of- your days.

This intimation of the assistance. which the law had lately vtgeivAd, from a fellow Who. was mitoeious for his preinons and constant, violation-of . it, excited a burst of 'laughter in the Court,, in which the prisoner joined, tilos 'evincing that her attsehmentto children does not extend, : . viithlitny degree 'of steady constancy, to adults, eien after theiitost intunaft acquaintance. , Joseph Pugh and Willia►n Davie vsiire.' indicted for killing and slaying Josiah Dee * in a pugillstfc encounter at Newent, irj this:county. , _The'one Wits principal, and the other second: The lary acquitted the ptisoner4. .coustiAteut COIN: Win.

Mr. Baron Garrow, in passing sentence upoil'the sorter, said, that 'it was very unusual for him, i n any ca se , to lament the . lenity of the law,' but here he was obliged for his own ,sake to do so.; for the law had affixed the penalty to the first offence of uttering, and he could only sentence the: prisoner to twelve months imprisonment, and hard labour, , and then to give his own surety in the sum of 201. for his good behaviour for two years. INFAMOUS ASSAULT. John , Feirihei'mis indicted for eonimitting 'an assault of an odious kind upon John Chappel, at Leightertrin. Chappel depotied, that he was pressed by the prisoner to spend the night at home With him, as his, (prisoner's) wife was not to .return before the nextday, iu he wanted Chappel for ,coMpany sake. The latter, though a married men, had n 4. objection to the other fellow's society, in pre ference to his wife's; to whom, however, he returned late at night upon. a complete discovery of the prisoner's in tentions. After day-break he mentioned what had hap pened Mina .wife, but halar ten dela to any body else. Mr. Baron Garrovr here roattwith- great indignation, and asked the jury if they were prepared to proceed fur ther in the rey9lting detaiis o f A a case upon the evi dence of so vile a felldw as this prbSeentor, who volun tarily refrained from returning to his wife, (who, if she could, ought,for ever to banish him from her Ooeiety), to partake of the other fellow's society for the Whole eight, and who then sneaked home to tell the poor woman of the exploitiof which be was, according to.. his own acqoppr, the victim, instead of tumbling out of the window, or knocking the brains out down: stairs ; of the ruffian who' had assaulted him, and then uttered no public complaint for ten dayi These were crimes for which, when clearly proved, the Judge had only to hand over the guilty wretch, , bound, into thellamis of the 'executioner, for sacrifice; The jury rittifit see their way then well through them.

Tins was an action by an attorney of Bath, against one of taro elderly maiden ladies for defamation. The scandal charged was, that the defendant had said the plaintiff was guilty' of forgery, and had conducted himself fraudulently in his practice of an attorney. ' From so much of the case as was disclosed, it appeared (by the statement only') that the defendant and her sister had, through the medium Of the plaintiff, advanced. some money to persons' engaged in building. Those persons afterwards became bankrupt; and the defendant (to whom the. security-given her and her sister had turned out un "productive) in her vexation had tittered the words now complained. of. There certainly appeared to be not the slightest foundation for th e . suppose d C h a rge against th e plaintiff lie did not wish for damages ; but :he insisted upon having an acknowledgment in writing, signed by the defendant, admitting that there was not any such founda tion ; and promising never' to repeat the scandal. Al though these terms appeared to be reasonable enough, they ; were, in the opinion of one of the ladies (we believe the sister of the Oefendant)i. so cruelly restrictive, that 'She amused the audience by. loud ..Itysterie screaming, which in due course led to a tit.

Opportunities enough had been offered him. It appeared, from What tool place, that:Mr. Teague, one of the vender directors, 'reluctantly nithout doubt, ,admitted, that the ,awn agreed-to be paid by Mr. Milks for all the mines was 75,500/., for which he bad charged 11,0004; and that the yereders,, of whom he (Mt% Teague) was one had only received 19,70 W. on ac count,Wilke although: Mr. /ilks had received .54,000/. from the . company.

He alwaYs was disposed to believe gentlemen upon:their solemn declaration of innocence, but he cons lewd that he was not altogether' free from suspicion with respect to one or two of those who constituted the Board at the same time, that . he gave full credit to the rest. It was necessary to mention that Lord Palmerston, at the meeting of the 4th of August, bad 'made an assertion, Ivhiell came in contriidiction of the state Tea of, Mr. Ker shaw, with respect to the alleged aequaintance between his Lordship. and Iht.
